"Calf Carrier" For ATV's
Three small calves can easily be carried by this calf carrier that's designed to be pulled behind any ATV, says Superior Outdoor Power Center, Superior, Neb.
"It keeps the calf out in the open where the mother can see and smell it, so she'll readily follow, unlike when you haul a calf on back of a pickup," says Arlen Mickelsen.
The 3-ft. wide, 4-ft. long, 3 1/2-ft. high trailer rides on flotation wheels and has a wooden floor. The sides are made from panel wire welded to a steel frame. The calf enters through a hinged gate on back.
"It's a lot safer than carrying a calf with you on the ATV. Cows have been known to jump on an ATV in order to protect their calf," says Mickelsen. "The hitch is long enough that even if the cow butts the trailer she can't knock the ATV over.
"We also make a skid-mount model that works great in deep snow."
Sells for $489 plus S&H.
